	Hint
Try removing the spaces from the sequence.
 
	
	
Answer
1301311 or 1210121.
Reasoning
Removing spaces from the original sequence gives:
   1 23 124 1251 26127 128129
   123124125126127128129
Now adding spaces back in, in the correct place:
   123 124 125 126 127 128 129
The next few terms could be:
   130 131 132
   or
   1210 1211 1212
Add these to the end:
   123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132
   or
   123 124 125 126 127 128 129 1210 1211 1212
Remove the spaces again:
   123124125126127128129130131132
   or
   123124125126127128129121012111212
Now break the sequence into chunks of increasing size:
   1 23 124 1251 26127 128129 1301311
   or
   1 23 124 1251 26127 128129 1210121
So the missing term is 1301311 or 1210121.
